2014 Official Rose Parade Grand Marshal Pin - Tournament of Roses - Rose Parade - Vin Scully - Dodgers - Hall of Fame Cloisonné pin featuring Vin Scully as grand Marshal of the 2014 tournament of roses rose parade Officially licensed pin made in extremely limited quantity. These are made by Milestone Products who have been the officially licenses EXCLUSIVE makers of pins for the Tournament of Roses since the Tournament started making pins in 1984. EACH PIN IS HAND MADE. The hard enamel colors around the picture of Vin are inlaid one at a time with a syringe and then the pin is baked then polished down to the metal mold. The Picture of Vin is then attached to the pin. Finally, the rear nail attachment is attached by hand... manually.... to each pin... one at a time. These are beautiful pins. The process is extremely time consuming compared to a screen printed or soft enamel pin. EVERYBODY at the Float Viewing and Parade events asked us for these pins. We didn't get very many done in time because of licensing approval issues. The Tournament of Roses worked hard with us to get approval to make this pin and we've agreed to give ALL PROCEEDS from this pin to the Charity designated by Vin. We've NEVER been more excited about a pin like this. Vin is a LEGEND and we are truly honored to be making this pin for the Tournament of Roses. Our sincere thanks goes out to those folks at the Tournament of Roses that made this happen.... (you know who you are) Cheers, The MILESTONE team.

Why did you raise the price of this item? It was $12 when I added it to my Amazon wish list. I should have purchased it then. Almost makes me not want the pin anymore. I understand the proceeds are going to charity but that is taking advantage of Vin's popularity.
